Can I have some help please...I want to do an analysis on the Say You Will cover for a small school assignment, I know it is based on some Japanese movie, but I can think what, can someone please give me some background information on the story or direct me to some info, because I am pretty sure there is some out there, I just cant remember where.

Cheers,
Tynan

It's based on a Japanese movie?! That's news to me! Sounds interesting...

Yes, I found out, it is based on an old Japanese story made in to a film in the sixties called Double-Suicide, looks very interesting, hope to see it one day.

I didn't know about that and never seen the movie, but I love the fact the cover is inspired by a Shinoda's film, he is such a visually powerful (and melodramatic) director. Great choice!

Weird. I always figured it was a "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" thing. The stuff they're lying on looks like coffin lining or whatever it's called, and they all look sorta dead. At least Stevie. Everyone else sorta ruins it. Eyes open, etc.

Neat!

This is just awesome - thanks for posting. And it's the first I've heard of it - which is very cool considering the album is nearing 2 years old. Makes me look at the album anew, and I can't wait to listen to it again.

They only show the photo shoot in "Destiny Rules", with no discussion of it. Could this have been a Herb Worthington idea, or do we know if it was band member decision?

Was this discussed before and I just missed it? Man, I hate that "out-of-the-Mac-loop" feeling...

I am glad you like it, i tis the first thing I have posted that has made it over one page, anyway does anyone think maybe SnL see a little bit of themselves in this story...let's just hope they dont end up so tragically.

I remember a while back, someone saying that the way Stevie and Lindsey are laying down.....and Mick and John are laying down holding hands...that together the 4 of them are forming "SYW" Stevie as the S for "Say" Lindsey is the Y for "You" and Mick and John form the W for "Will"
Maybe we should of asked John in the Q and A...................
